Cause

  • Service Provider Identifier (SPID) configuration value in WCC configuration does not match what is defined in EEM configuration.
  • Relying Party Identifier (RPT ID) configuration value in WCC configuration does not match what is defined in the EEM configuration

Resolution

WebUI -> configuration ->  make sure:

  • Service Provider Identifier  to match what exists in EEM Server's Artifact Configuration -> Service Provider ID  value
  • Relying Party Identifier  to match what exists in EEM Server's Artifact Configuration -> Relying Party Identifier value
